Timings of NOA2 after RFER?

[smilingstone 167]

Just been having some thoughts while waiting for our NOA2 following an RFER update. I'm wondering if any VJ'ers have anything to add from their own experiences.

 

Case received: 3rd April

RFE sent: 5th June

RFE response received: 17th June

 

In our RFE, it specified a deadline to respond by 3rd September. Has anyone received an NOA2 following an RFE before the deadline you were given?

 

Initially, perhaps naïvely, I thought that the quicker we responded, the quicker they would give NOA2. But as Sept is creeping closer I am left wondering if USCIS "parks" cases with RFEs until their deadlines, despite the RFER update stating that they have begun working on the case again?

 

Thank you

Someone had mentioned that June-July processing times have slowed way down  maybe that is why

On TMVN I can see updates on cases after our filing date, literally the day after, but our day is barely moving at all. It's so difficult to not get down about it, but I guess even some movement is better than nothing...

Hopefully, USCIS clears this latest backlog - I know there are a lot of pending petitions out there  

 

Maybe USCIS is making their process better during this slow processing time.

Happy to announce that we received approval on 2nd Aug (I got the update from TMVN very early this morning in the UK)! 😁

 

Total time waiting from sending application to NOA2 was 107 days! ♥

Mine took 2 weeks from RFER to NOA2✅ This happened last year📅

 

Total was 428 days from NOA1 to NOA2😅...we suffered the huge and horrible Covid backlog and delay🤢

 

➡️We filled our petition on 2022, got the K1 visa by late 2023 and the conditional Green Card this year 2024
